The drilling mud flow through the high set pipeline get to the baffle box on the shaker or directly to the distribution box. Then the shale shaker begins working to shake the drilling mud with solids.
After it processing, the solid particles size will be smaller than 76microns. The clean mud will fall into the shaker compartment or settling compartment.
